РЖД показала новый купейный вагон для маломобильных пассажиров

The project was presented on a multimedia display

The company "Russian Railways" (RZD) showcased a new compartment car for passengers with limited mobility at the "Transport of Russia" exhibition. The project is presented on a multimedia display at the company's booth.

The new car differs from standard ones in the number of specialized compartments — there are 4 instead of one. The sleeping berths are located parallel to the windows. This arrangement made it possible to enlarge the compartment and make the corridors wider.

Carriages for passengers with disabilities include:

  • Places for attaching wheelchairs and crutches.
  • An enlarged sanitary area.
  • An automated lift for wheelchairs.
  • Information on signs written in Braille.
  • Compartments with extended shelves (6 centimeters larger than standard).

You can see the new car live on December 3 of this year. The novelty will be presented on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities and sent on its first voyage as part of one of the long-distance trains.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russian Railways created a tender for the supply of 2 new generation rail grinding trains.
